    Watched Vanity Fair over the weekend. Really enjoyed it but I think it's a 1 watch sort of film so it will be heading to the CS. I also watched the 1st 10 minutes of The Waterboy but didn't enjoy it at all so that's going too.
    I have bought a few new films recently though - oops. Hopefully they won't take too long to rattle through :)

  • I watched Florence Foster Jenkins and Marie Antoinette this week. Both very good. Marie Antoinette is a 1 watch for me but Florence Foster Jenkins will be kept. Very close to my years goal now! :D

  • Hi toast, sorry I sort of fell of the wagon with this one.
    Finally managed to give 90% of the video collection away, which was a huge achievement.
    Lots of DVDs we decided were one watchers have been donated to the local CS.
    Currently watching some comedy ones, slowly working our way through them.

    We did watch the imitation game over the weekend someone had lent it to Dh, so that can be returned now.

  • Very impressed with your sorting Mrs-Moneypenny. It's been a while since I've had a proper clear out.
    I have been trying to only watch ones I own tho there have been a few extras bought. I think I'm doing quite well on getting rid of the ones I've watched and being honest about which ones I'm likely to watch again.
    I watched I now pronounce you Vince and Ralph last night, which was mildly entertaining but definitely a 1 watch.

    Watched the newer version of point break over the weekend -it was ok, someone lent us it so it can be returned.
    Last night watched 20mins of 'the good the bad and the weird' it is a bad Kung fu film with subtitles spoken in Korean - it was very strange, now in the CS bag.
    Watched prime rom com with uma Thurman and merely Streep it was ok but a one watch, also in CS bag now.

    I watched The Danish Girl last night. Very good but pretty sad too. Going to pass along to my Mum and Dad to watch

  • Watched Lucy over the weekend which takes me to my target for this year! Next target is 63 which 1 a week for the rest of the year since that was the idea behind the 52! See how that goes.

    We watched shooter over the weekend, it was quite good so think Dh wants to keep it.

    We did go through the shelves of DVDs and quite a few have been relegated to the CS bag.
